SVG is the global standard file format for two-dimensional vector graphics. SVG images are defined in XML text files, meaning they are easy to expand or compress and combine with other images.
airSmartG includes the SVG software below and can be customized to suit user needs.

・ SVG browser software (SVG rendering engine)

・ SVG authoring tools

・ SVG map distribution server

HTML5 compatibility

HTML5 will incorporate Canvas and SVG graphics-related elements. HTML5 will also add support for inline SVG, a technology that allows direct writing and visualization of SVG graphics tags in the HTML tags. Leveraging our SVG expertise and technologies gained through the development of airSmartG, we plan to develop content for the upcoming HTML5 standard.
